Lionhearted Lovers
thru Priscilla Van Sutphin
June 25th, 2004
The Lord said to me “Lionhearted lovers “,
and asking Him what He wanted to say
about this, this is what He said :
“I am drawing to Myself those who will
love me with their whole heart, & whole
soul, & whole mind & whole body! I am
wanting lionhearted lovers who will be
passionate in their pursuit of Me, &
passionate in their obedience to My will.”
Then this song came to mind, “ When somebody loves you, it’s no good unless they love you, ALLLLL the way!”
“The whole body of My church as well as the nation, are sick from the head to the feet. And the fear of me is not in you. ( Jer 2:19) I am visiting My church who is called by My name & I will restore to her all the locusts have eaten. I will restore to those who are willing to BEND to My will, in their hearts, all the ground the enemy has taken in their hearts & souls.
I will have a spotless bride ! I love you My sons & daughters & I will not allow this lack to go on! I am for you & not against you, but the threshing floors must be purged so that TRUE Shepherds will come forth to minister to My flocks.
I am not slack as some count slack concerning My promises. But the wealth you have been used to in this nation is speedily coming to an end. Be wise in your dealings & understand MY WORD! If you want love, you give love. If you want mercy, then give mercy.
Whatever you want men to do to you, then treat them the same. If you were homeless, would you want a can of food, or a warm dinner? If you had no clothes, would you like torn, worn, clothing, or would you like something new for your child, for example? Give as you would like to be given to yourself!
Do not forget the poor, the widow, the fatherless, I’ve said, yet for years & years you have forgotten them & built your own kingdoms. You have not taken in the poor to your homes, nor have many of you bandaged the wounds of the broken-hearted.
So I am coming to pour out MY LOVE that you would learn to love the way I have loved you! And to those who have taken time to bandage the wounds of the poor & lowly, the discarded & rejected, & tried to love them, I will give you MORE of all you’ve received, that you may steward the resources of heaven in the days ahead. For the needs will be great in this nation.
Changes are coming in the nations, & your hearts will be tested beyond anything you have imagined. So I am calling to you, wooing you, I have asked you to draw near, that you might be filled with MY strength & grace to endure what lies ahead. Do not hesitate any longer. Do not be too busy to take time with ME. Any time you spend with ME is NOT WASTED! Believe me when I say that you will be most thankful that you did as the time draws nearer to My coming!
Learn to live simply. Do not think I will not be watching who is generous & who is stingy with the things they have. It is not wrong to have nice things My children, but when the things have you, there is a problem. Lay down your life & pick up MINE! Foxes have holes & birds have nests, but the Son of man had no place to lay his head. Be aware that you may be entertaining angels in the days ahead.
Zech 11:3-6 NKJV
3 There is the sound of wailing shepherds! For their glory is in ruins. There is the sound of roaring lions! For the pride of the Jordan is in ruins.
4 Prophecy of the Shepherds - Thus says the LORD my God, "Feed the flock for slaughter, 5 whose owners slaughter them and feel no guilt; those who sell them say, 'Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich'; and their shepherds do not pity them.
I will take those who are lionhearted lovers of the Most High & will keep them & place them in postitions to feed My flocks & will provide all that is needed to do the work in this hour. But know that what is required more than money is a heart like MINE.
People can get through ANYTHING if they know they are loved & truly cared for! The days of giving 5 minutes here & there are gone. FEED MY SHEEP. SEARCH OUT THOSE THAT ARE LOST & scattered on every high hill & mountain, for I am RESTORING the ancient foundations.
I will establish MY WILL & I will establish TRUTH again in those who are really Mine. Do not think I desire unity at all costs. TRUTH is the dividing line My beloveds. You must love the truth, & embrace the truth & live the truth! Do not call good evil & evil good any longer.
For now I am coming with My terrible swift sword, & I will level the mountains of opposition to My will & TRUTH will prevail in the hearts of those who truly love Me.
Ex 18:20-22 NKJV Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 22 And let them judge the people at all times.
Ps 85:10-12 NKJV Mercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed. 11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, And righteousness shall look down from heaven. 12 Yes, the LORD will give what is good; And our land will yield its increase.
Ps 86:11 NKJV Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name.
Healing will flow like Niagara falls in the day ahead & you will see all your hearts have longed for. Be careful not to take the glory for yourself.
You will see astounding miracles & righteousness will be restored to My temples. You will be trees of righteousness & bring much healing to the nations of this earth.
It is a time to WORSHIP ME in the beauty of HOLINESS. Proclaim My Word with confidence for it to bring signs & wonders!
Ps 111:1 NKJV Praise the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright & in the congregation.
Ps 119:2 NKJV Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!
Ps 9:1-5 NKJV Prayer & Thanksgiving for the LORD's Righteous Judgments - I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. 2 I will be glad & rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. 3 When my enemies turn back, they shall fall & perish at Your presence. 4 For You have maintained my right & my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness. 5 You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever & ever.
Ps 119:58-64 NKJV I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; Be merciful to me according to Your word. 59 I thought about my ways, & turned my feet to Your testimonies. 60 I made haste, & did not delay To keep Your commandments. 61 The cords of the wicked have bound me, But I have not forgotten Your law. 62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, Because of Your righteous judgments. 63 I am a companion of all who fear You, & of those who keep Your precepts. 64 The earth, O LORD, is full of Your mercy; Teach me Your statutes.
Ps 119:69 NKJV The proud have forged a lie against me, but I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.
Ps 119:145-150 NKJV I cry out with my whole heart; Hear me, O LORD! I will keep Your statutes. 146 I cry out to You; Save me, & I will keep Your testimonies. 147 I rise before the dawning of the morning, & cry for help; I hope in Your word. 148 My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your word. 149 Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O LORD, revive me according to Your justice. 150 They draw near who follow after wickedness; They are far from Your law.
Ps 138:1-2 NKJV I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You. 2 I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
Jer 3:10 AMP But in spite of all this, her faithless & treacherous sister Judah did not return to Me in sincerity & with her whole heart, but only in sheer hypocrisy [has she feigned obedience to King Josiah's reforms], says the Lord. [2 Chron 34:33; Hos 7:13,14.]………
Jer 3:12 AMP Go & proclaim these words toward the north [where the ten tribes have been taken as captives] & say, Return, faithless Israel, says the Lord, & I will not cause My countenance to fall & look in anger upon you, for I am merciful, says the Lord; I will not keep My anger forever.
Jer 24:7 AMP And I will give them a heart to know (recognize, understand, & be acquainted with) Me, that I am the Lord; & they will be My people, & I will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart.
Isa 1:4-31 AMP
4 Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised & shown contempt & provoked the Holy one of Israel to anger, they have become utterly estranged (alienated).
5 Why should you be stricken & punished any more [since it brings no correction]? You will revolt more & more. The whole head is sick, & the whole heart is faint (feeble, sick, and nauseated).
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness or health in [the nation's body]--but wounds & bruises, & fresh & bleeding stripes; they have not been pressed out & closed up or bound up or softened with oil. [No one has troubled to seek a remedy.]
7 [Because of your detestable disobedience ] your country lies desolate, your cities are burned with fire; your land--strangers devour it in your very presence, & it is desolate, as overthrown by aliens.
8 And the Daughter of Zion [Jerusalem] is left like a [deserted] booth in a vineyard, like a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, like a besieged city [spared, but in the midst of desolation].
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left us a very small remnant [of survivors], we should have been like Sodom, & we should have been like Gomorrah. [Gen 19:24,25; Rom 9:29.]
10 Hear [O Jerusalem] the word of the Lord, you rulers or judges of [another] Sodom! Give ear to the law & the teaching of our God, you people of [another] Gomorrah!
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me [ unless they are the offering of the heart]? says the Lord. I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams & the fat of fed beasts [without obedience]; & I do not delight in the blood of bulls or of lambs or of he-goats [without righteousness].
12 When you come to appear before Me, who requires of you that your [unholy feet] trample My courts?
13 Bring no more offerings of vanity (emptiness, falsity, vainglory, & futility); [ your hollow offering of] incense is an abomination to Me; the New Moons & Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure--[it is] iniquity and profanation, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your New Moon festivals and your [hypocritical] appointed feasts My soul hates. They are an oppressive burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 And when you spread forth your hands [ in prayer, imploring help], I will hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood!
16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes! Cease to do evil,
17 Learn to do right! Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
21 How the faithful city has become an [ idolatrous ] harlot, she who was full of justice ! Uprightness and right standing with God [once] lodged in her--but now murderers.
22 Your silver has become dross, your wine is mixed with water.
23 Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes and runs after compensation and rewards. They judge not for the fatherless nor defend them, neither does the cause of the widow come to them [for they delay or turn a deaf ear].
24 Therefore says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty one of Israel, Ah, I will appease Myself on My adversaries and avenge Myself on My enemies.
25 And I will bring My hand again upon you and thoroughly purge away your dross [as with lye] and take away all your tin or alloy.
26 And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning; afterward you shall be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her [returned] converts with righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God).
28 But the crushing and destruction of rebels and sinners shall be together, and they who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 or you will be ashamed [of the folly and degradation] of the oak or terebinth trees in which you found [ idolatrous ] pleasure, and you will blush with shame for the [ idolatrous worship which you practice in the passion-inflaming] gardens which you have chosen.
( Wiccans worship around the oak trees)
30 For you shall be like an oak or terebinth whose leaf withers, and like a garden that has no water.
31 And the strong shall become like tow and become tinder, and his work like a spark, and they shall both burn together, with none to quench them.
